Most of the recent network is within the confines of the former East Berlin —tram lines within West Berlin having been replaced by buses during the division of Berlin (the first extension into West Berlin opened in 1994 on today's M13). In the eastern vicinity of the city there are also three private tram lines not part of the main system, whilst to the south-west of Berlin is the Potsdam tram system with its own network of lines.

The public transport system of Berlin is the oldest one in Germany . In 1825, the first bus line from Brandenburger Tor to Charlottenburg was opened by Simon Kremser , already with a timetable. [8] The first bus service inside the city has operated since 1840 between Alexanderplatz and Potsdamer Bahnhof . It was run by Israel Moses Henoch , who had organized the cab service since 1815. [9] [10] On 1 January 1847, the Concessionierte Berliner Omnibus Compagnie (Concessionary Berlin Bus Company) started its first horse-bus line. The growing market witnessed the launch of numerous additional companies, with 36 bus companies in Berlin by 1864.

The first tests of electric traction on Berlin's standard gauge began on 1 May 1882, with overhead supply and in 1886 with chemical accumulators , were not very successful. Definitively, electric traction of standard-gauge trams in Berlin was established in 1895. The first tram line with an overhead track supply ran in an industrial area near Berlin-Gesundbrunnen station . The first line in more a representative area took place with accumulators for its first year, but got a catenary, too, four years later. In 1902, the electrification with overhead wiring had been completed, except for very few lines on the periphery.
